This invention relates to new and useful V and depth regula-w Store forshovel plows.

The said guiding tersthe ground, and to provide simple and In carrying out the invention a hanger is secured to the beam ofthe plow inrear of .the standard in such a manner that suitable adjustment may be hadg A support term1- --nating in a shoe is adj ustably connected with i he hanger, the shoe regulating the depth of f plowing. A guiding blade is secured in the.

[shoe and is adjustable in take up the wear.

,One ofthe features of allow ample roombetween the'shovel and the shoeto permit the heel bolt to beeasily the invention is to remove oradjust the shovel. I
